A Trump employee who monitored security cameras at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate abruptly retracted his earlier grand jury testimony and implicated Trump and others in obstruction of justice just after switching from an attorney paid for by a Trump political action committee to a lawyer from the federal defender’s office in Washington, prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday.
Never use a lawyer being paid by someone else with a major interest in the case.
In a case involving criminal collusion, courts should require all defendants to have separate council. It’s obvious letting the most powerful member being prosecuted paying for the defense of the lessor defendants is a problem.
Unless your interests are the same.
Another defendent? Probably never. But like a family member or friend that needs your name to not be dirt? Maybe.
